| Abstract | Business process design is an extremely important that can lead to the success of an organi-zation. It not only enables an organization to rapidly adjust business processes according tonew requirements, but it also improves the effectiveness of existing business processes. Thisthesis proposes a way to help business process designers rapidly analyze and design businessprocess for an organization. Concretely, the thesis proposes to implement a new approach,so-called “activity recommendation”, to help designers quickly find relevant activities for aspecific position in a working business process. To find the relevant activities for activityrecommendation, the proposed approach takes into account the neighborhood context of ac-tivities in the business processes. Concretely, the activity neighborhood context is defined asthe sequence of connection elements connecting an associated activity to its neighbors. Mymethod compares activity neighborhood contexts of different activities for the similarity. Fi-nally, recommendations are generated based on the computed similarities. The experimentsin this thesis are performed on a large public dataset of business processes and, the resultsshow that the approach of activity recommendation is efficient and feasible for making rec-ommendations. The approach is implemented and integrated with an open source businessprocess modeling tool. |
